Xmas day and it is all about food
Geoff Norman opened my eyes to the (useful) parallels between cooking and medicine (‘Medical expertise and mashed potatoes’). This little quote from the Economist, is at a mature tangent:
Compare this to the fate of Lymeswold, which was created in the 1980s and touted as the first new English cheese in 200 years. It was initially highly successful, but when demand outstripped supply, the manufacturers cut corners and released stocks before they had matured, resulting in its demise less than a decade after its birth.
Sounds a little like some aspects of doctor training in the NHS.
